Hello CloClo28

I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some health concerns recently. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what this patch may be especially as you've been referred to the hospital. 

Many people find this period of uncertainty whilst waiting to see a specialist particularly difficult. It can sometimes help to talk to someone and I wondered if you might find it beneficial to chat things through with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be able to give you some advice and support. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your appointment and that the hospital is able to give you some reassurance. 

Best wishes,

Going through this too. So sorry to hear you are. I have an MRI tomorrow. The ENT referral me but he said he couldn't see the patch I have in my throat near where my tonsil used to be. But I can see it. The consultant didn't get close to me and I had my sheild on because of COVID. Really concerning but hopefully we will both be ok. Xx

Thanks for commenting and so sorry you're going through this too. What did the dr do at your ent appointment? Will you let me know how your MRI goes? We should definitely stay in touch. Good luck tomorrow xx

The consultant didn't really do a lot to be honest. I think because I was scared of COVID he had a look in my throat through my shield but that's it. They usually do a camera test but he said he didn't do that because of COVID and how I was but think he was doing it the MRI because he doesn't know what's wrong. But I can see the sore spot near where my tonsil used to be on the left and my partner can see it too. And it's been there over 4 weeks now. So worrying. The way it feels isn't good either. It hurts when I swallow and where the ulcer thing is I can feel it inside of that makes sense. Xx

And thank you. Need a miracle. I really do. It just don't feel right. Oh yeah the consultant did say to take Gavascon 4 times a day and prop myself up at night and yes I do have acid reflux but that wouldn't just create 1 ulcer looking  thing wouldn it and make me feel like I have a lump in my throat on that side. I've had ear pain on and off but the throat is pretty much there all the time and also feels like burning tongue and roof of mouth. Xx

Hello. Just thought I'd pop by and reply to your message. I have pretty much Sam symptoms as you except I have a sore spot on the side of my tongue, my dentist doesn't think there is anything wrong so I'm not sure if it's all in my head. But I do get this burning sensation on the top and side of my tongue and I have had it about 3 times on the roof of my mouth... it's such a bizarre feeling isn't it? When I try to explain to people they don't have a clue what I'm talking about! I also suffer with heartburn every.single.night! It's getting annoying now haha. Anyway I have a doctors appointment face to face tomorrow, if she says nothing is wrong I suppose I should move on. 
 

hope everything goes well for You and u find out what's causing the issues. 

Hey, how did your MRI go today? When will you get the results? Xx 

How did your appointment go? X

Hi CloClo, had the MRI. Had my eyes closed the whole time. They wanted to do the contrast dye but I didn't want it as worried about all the toxins in my body as it is. Hopefully they can still see clear enough. Just really hoping it's ok. Need a miracle as my throat just doesn't feel right. Feels like a cut inside and a lump feeling in the side. And I can see the ulcer like sore spot near my left tonsil tissue where near my tonsil used to be. Will be amazed if nothing. But really really hoping. How are you doing? Thanks for asking about me. Xx
